Can't Stop Listening: The Infectious Indie-Pop Rockers MisterWives

Most Read

Taking the work out of finding new music you'll obsess over, we're bringing you a curated list of the hottest new jams and artists on the rise each week. For our first edition of Can't Stop Listening, we bring you the infectious indie pop band, MisterWives!

Who they are: New York City's MisterWives started just two years ago in 2012, but you'd never guess it by the near-perfect mix of sounds this fivesome puts together! They released their first EP Reflections this January, and after a tour opening up for Bleachers starting August 20th, they'll be hitting up the studio to finish their first full-length album, due out this fall.

What they sound like: Not your typical indie pop band, MisterWives combine a mix of folk, synth pop, and rock that creates a quirky-fun sound that makes it nearly impossible for you to not bop along. "We touch on many different things—it's pop music with elements of folk, soul, and funk—but it still sounds under the umbrella of MisterWives," vocalist (and the only girl in the five-person group!) Mandy Lee said.

Why you'll be obsessed with them: Their shows explode with so much energy that it's like one giant dance party! Not only are their original tracks seriously addictive, but they have some epic covers, like Drake's "Hold On We're Going Home" that you'll be obsessed with. Before you know it, you'll be hitting repeat so often you'll forget that other music was even an option. Yes, it's that much fun!

How they'd describe their music in three words: Organic, soul, and colorful. (The perfect trio if you're asking us.)

The song you should add to your playlist ASAP: Download their energetic first single "Reflections," which has had over 3 million streams on Spotify, and it'll leave you wondering how you've gone this long without their glorious tunes in your ears.

Check out MisterWives EP Reflections, and hear their song "Vagabond," the theme song on MTV's new hit show Finding Carter now!
